Dear Mr Jeffrey

FoISA Reference - 1968

Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 * Provision of Information

Thank you for your request for information received 02 December 2008. I
have dealt with this in accordance with the Freedom of Information
(Scotland) Act 2002 and enclose some of the information you requested.

In respect of questions 1, 2, and 3 the information you request with
respect to the City of Edinburgh's Public Space CCTV network is as
follows.

1. There are currently 185 public space cameras monitored through City
of Edinburgh Council's Central Monitoring Facility.

In addition the Council owns or operates CCTV cameras used
for building security and these are monitored locally.

2. The installation of new CCTV is carried out using the tender
procurement process and therefore costs can vary. For

budgetary purposes the current assumption is that each new camera
will cost £25,000 to install.

3. Attached is a list of all public space CCTV cameras owned and
operated by the City of Edinburgh Council. No such database

exists with respect to CCTV within a Council buildings etc.

All other aspects of questions 1, 2 and 3 are refused as the council does
not hold information on CCTV systems other than its own.

Questions 4-8 information is not held by the council. You would have to
contact the relevant Police Force.

If you are not happy with this response, or want to complain about the way
in which we handled your application, please write to the Director of
Corporate Services; The City of Edinburgh Council, Waverley Court, 4 East
Market Street, Edinburgh, EH8 8BG, within 40 working days of receipt of
this letter, seeking a review of the response.

If, after you have received a reply from the Director of Corporate
Services, you remain dissatisfied, you may ask the Scottish Information
Commissioner to conduct a review. You can contact him at:

Andrews, Fife

Information (Scotland) Act 2002 does not give you an automatic right to
